14th December

Christmas shopping cut down on the numbers of those who normally come to the art and crafts. But those who did come worked studiously on producing various Christmas decorations and completing paintings including Pat's lifelike looking hare. Bridget produced mince pies to go with our drink which were appreciated by those not on a diet.

November meeting

Nineteen members attended, the craft group were very productive with their many Santa's and Christmas cards. Pat's painting once again is very good

October Meeting

Twenty members, twelve of them for the art group met up for an afternoon of creative activity. Pat's flower painting is a striking example of the workmanship exhibited and the craft's Christmas decorations are very striking and colourful.

Friday 14th September

Twenty members ten for art and ten for craft attended today. The craft group made Christmas Crackers while we continued with our own individual paintings.

13th July

Another nice afternoon warm and sunny when we arrived at the hall. Quite a few of us attending for both art and craft with at least two new members. Pictured is the necklaces and earrings made by the craft group one necklace worn and the cartoon faces are my contribution to the art world

June meeting

Twenty of us attended todays art & craft on a nice June day, nine for art and eleven who busied themselves with stringing beads into necklaces. Pictured below. Dave once again painted a beautiful picture this time a small minature of a butterfy that looked as bright as the real thing

.

May meeting

Eighteen turned up for the combined art and craft group meeting. The photos show in the first picture my drawing copied of course from a drawing of a garden glove. The next is Dave's terrific painting of a flower and not least the ornate cards made by the craft group.

April Meeting

Sixteen turned up for the combined art and craft meeting including one surprised visitor who mistakenly thought we were another organization. We welcomed her to take part and she seemingly enjoyed the craft group - another new member?

March meeting

Six dabbled artistically while nine toiled over their crochet to produce a fine selection of knitted work and Pat's unfinished water colour picture of succulent strawberries.
